Jakey

Poor Jake. This boy is a whirlwind of non stop energy. He plays hard and then he sleeps hard. He stops only to eat...which he also does with great gusto.

Then my Jakey moped around for a day...he laid on the carpet...then he asked for his "bobble" to go to bed early...then he woke up hot, oozing, coughing, and sucky. Jake was sick! this is unheard of! Once he got a weird rash...and other than that I can't think of a time when Jake has been truly out of commission.

20 minutes after Jon got him out of bed he was asleep again on the couch...with untouched breakfast beside him! This alone should have caused a 911 call I am sure...we opted for the clinic instead. He promptly told the nurse his ear "owie owie" and sure enough on top of a nasty virus he also has an ear infection. He laid on my lap for an hour in the waiting room and everyone over the age of 30 who came in looked at him and said "poor little dear" to which he looked up with his heavy head in his croaky- full- of -pacifier -mouth "yaaaa" and then sadly put his head back down.

Ohhhh I really don't like when my kids are sick, especially the super pathetic extra sick kind of sick...the too sick to be cranky and are just sad and sucky sick.

This kid is getting his fair share of all the "bobbles" he can drink, vitamin D, Vitamin C and some nasty banana antibiotics (followed with a healthy dose of probiotics when they are gone)but other then that all I can do is just hold him and say "poor little dear".
He likes that.

***He looks so big on the couch doesn't he?! but he isn't...he can still curl up in a little ball on my lap...
